Weekend PICKS: Thursday, February 10th thru Sunday, February 13th
Valentine’s Weekend, and the Superbowl? – What to do?
The only correct answer, is – all the things. Especially when there’s so many of “the things” to choose from!
The MUG is here to guide you around town and western Montana for all the good stuff happening this weekend.
We’ve compiled the most comprehensive list of this weekend’s events in Western Montana, all right here for you to make your own Weekend PICKS.
We’re counting over 70(!) live music shows of one kind or another in the area. The winter markets variously all have a ton of last-minute Valentine’s stuff to help keep you out of the doghouse. And *The Big Game* either will have you glued to the tube on Sunday – ideally in front of a wall-sized screen for most of the day – or you’ll be somewhere far from the cool blurry glow of the TV, somewhere out in the church of the outdoors that’ll be infinitely more rewarding.
You can find some fantastic film and cinema showings, and just way more than anyone can fit in four days of great reasons to enjoy the weekend.
Check current spring-like conditions via the links here for Snowbowl, Lost Trail, Whitefish, Blacktail and Discovery. There are outstanding conditions for XC all around Missoula & Western Montana. FatBike Missoula has been grooming tracks at Twin Creeks. Bitterroot Backcountry Cyclists are reporting good fat biking on the trails around Lake Como and other areas in great shape, too.
No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Activities and events are happening not only around Missoula, but all the way up the Flathead and the Bitterroot valleys, and Phillipsburg.
Get out and enjoy our locally-owned bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages. Catch a classic movie screening or a Valentine’s themed comedy night. Sing your favorite karaoke song, or catch a live show. Enjoy safely and responsibly.
Please confirm event details at the source before you go. Last minute changes are common, especially due to weather. With each event listing, we try to include a web page or event link with more information you can check for changes.

“You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can’t win
And so it goes
‘Til the day you die
This thing that they call love
It’s gonna make you cry
I’ve had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
(Love stinks)
Love stinks
Yeah, yeah”
― “Love Stinks” – The J. Geils Band

Chuck Briseno and The Mile 57 Band
Great Northern Bar
27 Central Avenue, Whitefish, Montana
$5 cover charge
Katie Page kicks things off at 9:30
From an early age, Chuck had a guitar in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and performing in the small town of George West, Texas. In 2004, he formed his first band “Across the Tracks” with some buddies at Bee County College. As fortune would have it, he joined the military with his best friend Matt Murphy and began the first part of his journey as a story teller and songwriter. In 2007, Chuck deployed to Afghanistan with the 173rd Airborne Brigade as a team leader and paratrooper to the Konar river valley. Participating in operations such as Rock Avalanche and Spitamenese, there was no time for much writing or picking guitar. towards the end of the deployment, an offer was extended to apply for West Point. Jumping at the opportunity to earn a college education, the stars aligned and in 2012 he graduated with a bachelor of science in Civil Engineering.
During his time at West Point, there was hardly time for extra curricular activities, but somehow Chuck managed to reinvigorate the band from 2004 with musicians at the academy and the spark for performing and writing was suddenly reignited in a fury. When it was all said and done, Chuck completed a total of 13 years in the military serving as a scout, paratrooper, tank platoon leader, combat engineer, and brigade operations officer.
Chuck’s debut solo album release “Texas & You” released May 2018, featuring their first music video “Bar Girl” which showed some success for the band. Their sophomore album “You Should Be Mine” released December of 2019. This album featured their second music video “Stronger Than the Whiskey“. as of 2021 the band released their third music video “Draw You A Map” recorded live at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. Currently the band is working on its third studio album to be released in 2022. Chuck is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and Norwich University with a bachelor of science and master’s degree in Civil Engineering. Although he is a Texas native, he currently resides in Springfield, Missouri. In the last year, the Band has performed over 140 shows in 18 states. From South Texas to Northern Montana and many more places in between.

Both crime bosses have found new dames, thereby intertwining more mutual relationships between the two factions. Will these two underground organizations resolve their disputes or will a massive melee erupt, rekindling the fatal flames between them? If you are up for loads of blackmail, deceit, intertwining relationships and murder then get your tickets today!

Norwegian Romance
University of Montana
32 Campus Dr., Missoula, Montana
Our Valentine’s weekend brings to the stage the scintillating sparkle of the “String Serenade” of Victor Herbert and the complexity and drama of Grieg’s String Quartet #1, arranged for full orchestra. The American cellist, composer and entrepreneur Victor Herbert may be best-known for his popular Broadway operettas, however, upon hearing his “Serenade,” critics from The New York Times praised it as being “a particularly good work” and compared its lush string writing to that of Richard Wagner. Across the Atlantic, Norway’s most celebrated composer, Edvard Grieg, is featured on our program in his only string quartet, a composition so forward-thinking and colossal in scope that it harmonically expanded the musical language and range of the string quartet genre for future generations of musicians and composers. We hope you can join us as we rosin up our bows and perform these powerful masterpieces!
